From there she went on to train in the UK and America and opened her own successful bistro on the Wirral. Michelle went on to produce stunning Thai and Asian Fusian food after travelling extensively throughout south east Asia studying cookery in the villages and towns of Thailand, Laos and Singapore. On her return, Michelle set up a catering events company,Bay Tree Catering, specialising in food from traditional British and world cuisine, influenced by her travels.

Along with her team, Michelle has cooked for high profile clients such as the Bank of New York and the Australian Cricket Team and loves the variety that her job brings. Michelle organises and teaches healthy eating programmes for communities in north Liverpool and gets real satisfaction from showing others how easy it is to make nutritious family meals on a budget.
